Journalist Ekaterina Barabash describes her harrowing escape from Russia

A woman with grey hair and multicoloured glasses speaks into a microphone. She's wearing a ribbon on her lapel in the blue and yellow colours of the Ukrainian flag, affixed with a red poppy.

Barabash was on house arrest and facing imprisonment for speaking out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Now, she is safe in Paris after a tumultuous and clandestine escape, orchestrated with the help of Reporters Without Borders.
